Upgrade your domain to Active Directory [Samba4].  Not meaning to be
snarky, but (a) it is easy to do and (b) you are fighting a doomed
battle to keep things working, NT domains are now more than a decade
past deprecated.  Life is much smoother on this side of the line.

Or if you disable roaming profiles does the message go away?  Do you
have the very latest Samba3 version?

I doubt Windows 10 + S3-as-NT gets much testing.
