So the "Situation":
The export report formatted (XML) from the Baseline Analyzer for SQL is unusable into a report, and must be viewed in the Baseline Analyzer, so trying to get the BPA results via PowerShell into a csv/txt of some sort.
So far, i can get the model easily with Get-Model "SQL2012BPA" with results:
Id : SQL2012BPA
Company : Microsoft
Name : SQL Server 2012 BPA
Version : 1.0
LastScanTime : 2016/09/29 10:33:44 AM
LastScanTimeUtcOffset : 02:00:00
SubModels : {AnalysisServices, Engine, IntegrationServices, Replication, ReportingServices, Setup}
Parameters : {Alternate_Server_to_Scan, SQL_Server_Instance_Name, Analyze_SQL_Server_Engine, Analyze_SQL_Server_Replication, Analyze_SQL_Server_Setup, Analyze_SQL_Analysis_Services, Analyze_SQL_Integration_Services,
Analyze_SQL_Reporting_Services}
ModelType : Undefined
SupportedConfiguration :
And to Invoke it:
Invoke-BpaModel "SQL2012BPA" -SubModelId {Engine} -ComputerName {localhost}
How do you actually specify an Instance name after -Computername? Passing it as "-Parameter {instancename}" results in unrecognized option error.
Default instances makes contact, but complains no access, although I am sysadmin, SYSTEM is sysadmin, everyone is sysadmin...:ermm:
Pulling hair here....not much available on www specific to the SQL2012BPA model.

Have you tried: -ComputerName [ServerName/InstanceName]

Thank you for the suggestion, although I've tried all variants, including yours, and it appears that it doesn't accept anything beyond a standalone name.
