It looks like you are trying to create an NT4-style domain using 3.6.6 
on Wheezy and you are also using smbldap-tools.

Samba 3.6 is no longer maintained but if you must stick with wheezy, you 
could use backports, this will get you samba 4.1.17
However, your problem is coming from smbldap-tools and this is not part 
of Samba, it is a third party package. To get a later version of this, 
will entail upgrading your distro to Jessie.

Can I ask why you are trying to create a new NT4-style domain ? you 
would probably be better off creating a new AD domain.
