Sysprep question

I used "sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown" and created an image file
with winpe. However after the image was deployed into an other machine
(with the same type of machine) and the windows restarted, it was not
started anymore with an error message.
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass
[specialize].
The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. "

This message looks that an anwer file is needed.
I wonder if I need to use an anwer file to use /generalize option.

I appreciate somebody helping.. Thanks
