After adding the mailbox to the DAG, the server needs to be restarted

Hello everybody!

There is a DAG on Exchange 2019 CU 12, I'm trying to add two mailbox servers to the DAG cluster. When you add the Add-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupServer -Identity DAG 03 -Mailbox Server MB 06 command, the server is added and the Failover Cluster role is being installed. I'm trying to add a second mailbox server to the cluster in the same way and I get an error. As it turned out, the source server requires a reboot - as far as I understood because of the cluster role. After that, he asks to add the mailbox to the cluster.

Can you tell me how to correctly add mailboxes to an existing DAG, that is, pre-install the Failover Cluster role?

Strange, but in the Exchange 2016 version I did not need to reboot the servers while adding mailboxes to the cluster, even when installing the Failover Cluster component, why is that?

Thanks!

    Here is the log of the last server addition to the dag and it looks like there are not enough rights to the CNO object for the server and hence the error. Probably the cluster was installed before me through the preparation of CNO
