FineBuild can install and configure the Microsoft Baseline Configuration Analyzer (MBCA) as part of the SQL Server install process. If you do not want to include Baseline Configuration Analyzer in your FineBuild install, then do not download it.
Baseline Configuration Analyzer is written by Microsoft. It was chosen to be included in FineBuild because it is required by the SQL Server Best Practice Analyzer.
