Lets start with the other mistakes you have first:

You do not put the users password here (if that is what you are trying 
to do): --password=PASSWORD1

It goes here: samba-tool user create USERNAME PASSWORD

You have: --home-drive=M

It should be: --home-drive=M: (note the ':' at the end)

Now we come to the OU.

You show two variants of your OU: OU=Mmbrs-folder-redirection and 
OU=DmnMmbrs-folder-redirection,OU=CompanyName

If your OU is at 
'OU=DmnMmbrs-folder-redirection,OU=CompanyName,DC=ad,DC=example,DC=com', 
then you should be using something like 
--userou='OU=DmnMmbrs-folder-redirection,OU=CompanyName' or to put it 
another way, it is the OU's DN with the base DN removed.

The OU path must exist, it will not be created.
