It's Intune,
not Intunes.

Confused?
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based device management platform that manages and secures corporate devices, apps, and data — it keeps your fleet compliant. It has nothing to do with Apple's iTunes, the app that made you burn mix CDs in 2006, yet people keep saying "Microsoft Intunes" anyway. Every time someone types "Intunes" in a support ticket, an IT admin loses a year of their life.

intunes.IT is an independent parody/PSA project — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft or Apple.

Quick guide for the confused

  • Microsoft Intune is a cloud service that manages and secures devices, apps, and data. Think policies, compliance, enrollment, remediation, and a lot of happy security people.
  • Apple iTunes is a classic media app for playing, purchasing, and syncing music and videos. Great for nostalgia, not so great for deploying a configuration profile.

Both names sound nearly identical and both come from tech giants — but the similarity ends there. Getting the name right matters in practice: a support ticket or Copilot prompt referencing "Intunes" can land in the wrong context and waste everyone's time.

Don't take our word for it: read Microsoft's official Intune documentation or the Wikipedia entry for Microsoft Intune.

Hall of Misspellings (100% real, 1% shame)

We've seen them all: ✗ Intunes, ✗ Intunes MDM, ✗ Microsoft Intunes, ✗ Apple Intune, ✗ iToons, ✗ InTune (camel case crimes). The correct name is always ✓ Microsoft Intune. Click any below to correct it.

Real sightings in the wild (certified cringe)

This isn't hypothetical. The "s" creeps in everywhere:

  • Job postings asking for "3+ years of Intunes administration experience" — recruiters, please.
  • PowerShell script comments like # TODO: fix Intunes MDM sync — the script doesn't judge you, but we do.
  • Vendor renewal emails referencing an "Intunes license" — nobody has ever sold you that, because it doesn't exist.
  • Internal wikis and runbooks with a confidently wrong "Intunes Admin Portal" link in the header.

✗ Intunes is never correct. ✓ Intune or ✓ Microsoft Intune always is.

Frequently Asked (and Mildly Enraging) Questions

What is Microsoft Intune?

Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based MDM/MAM service to manage and secure devices, apps, and data. It handles policies, compliance, enrollment, and remediation. It is an enterprise platform, not a media player. It's part of the Microsoft Intune Suite (formerly Microsoft Endpoint Manager) and integrates with Microsoft Entra ID for identity-based access control.

What is the difference between Intune and iTunes?

Microsoft Intune is an enterprise device management cloud service. Apple iTunes is a media application for playing, purchasing, and syncing music and videos. They are completely unrelated products from different companies. Confusing them in a support ticket or search query typically routes you to the wrong documentation entirely — Apple's iTunes support pages won't help with an MDM enrollment issue.

Why do people say Intunes instead of Intune?

People commonly confuse Microsoft Intune with Apple's iTunes, leading them to add an "s" and call it "Intunes". The correct product name is "Intune" or "Microsoft Intune". There is no official Microsoft product called "Intunes" — if you see that spelling anywhere, including in a vendor email or job posting, it's simply a typo.
