We're trying to troubleshoot using this with our AD laps, when we try to run as an admin OR as a root, it claims it is not being run as a root user.

This is an executable so you do not need to use the open command. You can run it since I'm assuming you used the pkg installer by calling either sudo macOSLAPS or as root macOSLAPS. If you want to spell out the full path then you can do something like /usr/local/laps/macOSLAPS or sudo /usr/local/laps/macOSLAPS.

That did it, thanks Joshua
