If you have disabled ViewState globally, check that enableViewState="true" for edit/admin etc.
<location path="EPiServer">
<system.web>
<location path="CMS">
<system.web>
<pages enableEventValidation="true" enableViewState="true">

Getting some weird errors after upgrading a site from CMS 5 R2 SP2 to 6. The site is globalized with no/dk/se.
The site is running and browseable, but certain functions in Admin Mode causes errors. For instance:
** ERROR 1: Searching for users or groups gives the error: "Input string was not in correct format".
It gives the same error whether the name/email/number of hits fields are filled in or left blank.
Error info from the Event Log:

** ERROR 2: Trying to change the interval type (hour/minute etc) on a scheduled job, e.g. Subscriptions, gives the error "Object reference not set.." when clicking the Save button.

All these functions worked well on the CMS5 version of the site. Note: CMS6 version is NOT running on the same web server as the CMS5 site.
Any clues?
