Is it possible to automount the data drive on a server if/when it is rebooted without logging into the Server?
I'd rather not have to log into the server everytime it is rebooted to mount the volume.

I know little aboout servers but I'll ask in case anyone else needs to know to answer:
Which server OS are you using?

The only way I know to automount a drive on Windows 10 is to add the drive to your favourite volumes and have its password the same as the password with which you encrypt Windows 10. Oh yeah your server needs to be encryptyed with an MBR.

To do this, when installing Windows 10, at the language screen (before install), press Shift + F10.
"diskpart"
"list disk"
"select disk #" where # is the # of the drive where you will install Windows
"clean"
"convert mbr"
"create partition primary" (only if you don't want that spare 100MB partition lying around)
