OK, after digging into the code, it seems that the 'Unknown invocation 
ID' lines are pretty meaning less, they come from here:

         try:
             settings_dn = str(res[0]["distinguishedName"][0])
             prefix, dsa_dn = settings_dn.split(',', 1)
         except IndexError as e:
             print("Unknown invocation ID %s" % inv_id,
                   file=sys.stderr)
             continue

The Unknown invocation ID's appear to be artefacts of a DC being 
replaced and are pretty meaningless. Just about the only use I can see 
for printing it, is to scare the life out of users 😂

As you can see, right after printing the ID, it just continues to the 
next ID, perhaps the print part of the code needs removing ?

It appears that the important lines are the last 5
