Server Pool in Windows Server’s Add Roles and Features Wizard

Question

Hi,

While adding a role in Windows Server, we all see screen as below:

In most cases, we install roles in the local server shown in the list.

We see here Select a server from the server pool.

If I am right, more servers can be added here and accordingly we can add roles in the specific server.

Please let us know, how can I add more servers here?

As it says, server pool, I think it means, more servers.

Does it mean all servers added here will be connected to each other? If yes, do we need to connect manually?

I’ll be thankful to you for explaining more related to this scenario.

With Regards
