From EAC, creating DAG itself worked with no issues. Then we went ahead and added first mailbox server to the DAG without problems. This is where the problems begin. We are unable to add more servers.

Hi @Michael Wiskman ,
Then we went ahead and added first mailbox server to the DAG without problems. This is where the problems begin. We are unable to add more servers.
Were all the mailbox servers built using a same base image which has been installed with all the prerequisites including Failover Cluster Manager? If this is the case, it's suggested to try removing and reinstalling the Failover Cluster Manager feature for the other mailbox servers you want to add into the DAG and see if the error can be resolved. The Failover Cluster Manager feature can be removed and installed via the Server Manager:
Here is a blog with the same error message for reference: Incorrectly Configured Static Address when creating a DAG.

Thank you for your answer. We have allaredan tried to reinstall the Failover Cluster Manager and the DAG. We have also started with a base image of each server with the most up-to-date CU. Any more suggetions?
@Michael Wiskman , Please have a check on a problematic node and make sure DHCP Client service is in the running status:
With that confirmed, I'd suggest running a validate test in cluster on the problematic node to see if there is any error in the test result:
Test-Cluster
Besides, based on my research, this error could also be related to firewall or anti-malware software, so if you have any kind of security software installed, it's recommended to try temporarily disabling them on both nodes and see if the DAG member can be added successfully.

We have tested most of what we can find using Google without success. But I attach the log from the cluster log. As you can see, something is happening at the port 3343.
Thanks @Michael Wiskman for the cluster log. From the log, it seems to me that this could be related to some sort of network communications glitch between the two nodes. I tried to search using some keywords like "routeInfo is nullptr" from the log but hardly find any information useful. During my research, I noticed that "route is not in routeDb" in your log file was included in the logs shared in this thread from the archived WindowsClustering forum. From the discussion there, it's also mentioned to check the network issue between the nodes.
Additionally, it's suggested to run the Validate a Configuration Wizard for both nodes, this can help check the configuration in a variety of ways and generates a Validation report.
Hi,
Can you please try the below steps and see if that helps,
Disabling IPv6 using registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters
Set DisabledComponents to ffffffff
Please Note: Take the backup of the registry before making changes and be careful in the changes as the improper configuration would lead to other issues.
Also, its not recommended to disable IPv6, this is only for addressing this issue and check if this resolves. I fixed the similar issue in an environment by disabling IPv6 and once the node is added successfully, I re-enabled it again.
Thank you for your answers. As I said, have tested most things. Has now escalated it to Microsoft Support. I will write here if they find the solution. Then it can always be helpful to someone else.

Thanks @Michael Wiskman for letting us know the current status of this issue. Hopefully it can be resolved soon! And it's really appreciated that you are willing to keep us posted with the solution, that would definitely be beneficial to others reading this thread.

This is a little late to the game, but this helped me. Under "Computer Configuration...>User Rights Assignment" change the setting "Deny access to this computer from the network" to make sure "Local Accounts," or the like, is not in there.
