I want to execute the File command on every file in /etc/sysconfig and
record the output in a file named sysconfig.find

Here is what I tried that didn't work:

find /etc/sysconfig -exec file {} /home/JR/sysconfig.find \; 2>/dev/null

I can't see why this command won't work.

I usually do it via xargs:

find /etc/sysconfig -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file > /home/JR/sysconfig.find

That doesn't write any output in /home/JR/sysconfig.find but calls file
on the found file and /home/JR/sysconfig.find

Try
find /etc/sysconfig -exec file {} \; > /home/JR/sysconfig.find
