To make sure your connection uses ActiveRoles Server for its queries, use the following cmd before performing your queries.

Connect-QADService -Service <fqdnOfArsAdminServiceHost> -Proxy

The important part of the above command is the -Proxy, which forces your connection to use the ActiveRoles Server administration service to process the queries and allow access to the virtual attributes

Example:

Command
Connect-QADService -Service ars1.testdomain.com -Proxy

Output
