    _serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes();

    OrganizationServiceContext _orgContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(_serviceProxy);

    CreateRequiredRecords();

    CreateWorkflowFromTemplateRequest request = new CreateWorkflowFromTemplateRequest()
    {
        WorkflowName = "Workflow From Template",
        WorkflowTemplateId = _processTemplateId
    };

    // Execute request.
    CreateWorkflowFromTemplateResponse response = (CreateWorkflowFromTemplateResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(request);
    _processId = response.Id;

    // Verify success.
    // Retrieve the name of the workflow.
    ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet("name");
    Workflow newWorkflow = (Workflow)_serviceProxy.Retrieve(Workflow.EntityLogicalName, response.Id, cols);
    if (newWorkflow.Name == "Workflow From Template")
