When adding a new node to an existing failover cluster it becomes a possible owner and takes ownership

Hello.

Apologies if this is not the correct place for this.

I have a WSFC that has multiple nodes which have SQL Server 2016 SP2 installed on them. We are running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter.

When I add a new node to the cluster it automatically becomes a "possible owner" and immediately the cluster tries to make it the "Current Host Server". We do not want to to become a possible owner or the "Current Host Server".

Is there a way to add a node without this happening?

Thank you.
