I'm with Kurt - I'm VERY wary of iTunes on business machines. I'd want to hear a solid business case for allowing it, otherwise I'd be rid of it.

What are your organization's policies? If there is no policy on this, it's time to get one - speak to your HR manager and other relevant staff (probably including the company lawyer) about setting up a policy. That is what should drive your decisions like this. Now, if you're wanting my personal/professional opinion - iTunes' security record sucks. Also, iTunes isn't needed for anything legitimate that users might have, iPhone and iPad included, because those can be activated on either a personal computer, or if the devices is company-issued, on a computer that is dedicated to the purpose and under the direct control of IT. Given that, iTunes should not be present on end-user machines. But that's just my opinion.
