And then after my last post I noticed something I missed before. 
Whatever version of Samba is in use, it is that old it is still using 
python 2

Okay, find a file called 'fsmo.py' and open it in your favourite editor. 
Scroll down to the line 'from samba.auth import system_session', beneath 
that line, add a new line:

import samba.drs_utils

Close and save the file.

Your error should now go away.
