service.Url = "http://:/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Create an ExecuteWorkflow request.
ExecuteWorkflowRequest request = new ExecuteWorkflowRequest();

//Assign the ID of the workflow you want to execute to the request.
request.WorkflowId = new Guid("b050f053-6968-dc11-bb3a-0003ffbad37a");

//Assign the ID of the entity to execute the workflow on to the request.
