Uh... I think I'd start with unplugging the internet connection. Seriously,
if you are that kind of a breech you need to take drastic action immediately
IMO.

Then I'd probably change the administrator password to something strong.

THEN, you can start worrying about the who and where. Maybe get some audit
policies going to track when and where they're attaching, if you haven't
stopped them with the above steps. That is, unless you want to leave your
entire network as a honey pot in attempts at catching them.
