Document Migration: Is it possible to update Major Version document metadata fields, Author, Editor, Created and Modified

I have a library where version is enabled, both for Major and Minor versions. And I am importing documents to this library that has a lot of metadata I need to set including the internal fields Author, Editor, Created and Modified. It is working fine for updating documents that are minor version, I use the SPListItem.UpdateOverwriteVersion() after settings the Author, Editor, created and Modified fields after i have checked-in the document with a minor version. And this works fine.

My problem is this approach does not work for Major version documents, then Modified by is set to the account I am currently using to import the documents. If I try to run the SPListItem.UpdateOverwriteVersion() command a new minor version is created after the major version.

Is there anyway to update Major version documents in a library to set the Author, Editor, Created and Modified fields without creating a new minor version?

Edit: Found the solution that works and it is below.

Enable Cross-Domain Profile Photos in SharePoint Online

Has anyone found a way to display user photos in SharePoint from a search web part on a site without the images breaking when the authentication period to [tenant]-my.sharepoint.com times out?

For example, I have a publishing site at [tenant].sharepoint.com and on the home page we show all new employees based on the Hire Date property in their profile. The pictures come back but don't load because the image source url is for [tenant]-my.sharepoint.com. If you look at the network traffic it's trying to redirect them to re-authenticate against the "my site." If the users click on a profile it takes them to the auth page and then redirects them to the profile (without prompting for login info). Now that they've recently authenticated against the "my site" the pictures on the original homepage will display.

I understand the security reasons for this; however in on-prem implementations there's a "CrossDomainPhotosEnabled" web application property, but there's no such thing for SharePoint Online.

Has anyone gotten this scenario to work? Maybe some clever workaround I'm not considering?
