Some methods in notebooks do not work when executed from Data Pipelines deployed via SPN
Just to update everyone based on the most recent discussion with Microsoft support on the support case: They have pointed me to Fabric Community forums (so here where we already started discussion and report this issue) and to the Ideas part, so I also created an idea referencing this thread and pointing that this is a known issue and also asking for a fix and/or a workaround.

Hi mmilosanovic ,
Thank you for the update and for continuing to raise visibility across the support channels and community.
As acknowledged internally, this behavior is a known limitation when executing notebooks via Service Principal authentication, where certain methods like notebookutils may not function as expected due to context initialization issues. The product team is actively reviewing the scenario, and we anticipate future improvements to address these limitations.
Your engagement through the Ideas forum is appreciated and will help with prioritization. We’ll continue to monitor this and share any updates or guidance as they become available.
Also please try to review the information provided by gaya3krishnan86 which might help you.
