For strict iTunes you need AppleApplicationSupport, QuickTime and iTunes. MobileDeviceSupport might be nice if they're actually going to connect iWhatever.

Appdeploy.com has a bunch of resources I believe with people getting it to work but it was no small task. Maybe there are some 3rd party deployment tools that work well. Aside from that, iTunes media is generally high bitrate. Meaning audio and video will take up a lot of space.

We have a few audio techs who require downloading hard to find music tracks occationally but other than that we have not allowed iTunes in the enterprise (proliferation of illegally obtained music, using valuable corp bandwidth, etc). I'm still against it. Anyone have any pros/cons?
